Mainworld Data[edit]

Berns is a very large moon of the innermost Gas Giant, which itself orbits on the innerside of the life zone. It is a desert moon with a thin atmosphere requiring respirators for excursions.

Berns is a hot world for most of its revolutionary cycle, with a brief period of extreme cold when it passes into the shadow of its giant companion. Berns is tidally-locked to its companion, which essentially gives it a very long day.
